The Queendom of Wahhaw is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.714 billion Wahhawis are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.
The very strong Wahhawi economy, worth 502 trillion Northern Liraats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,132 Northern Liraats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 223,452 per year while the poor average 13,933, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.
Wahhaw has designated Wahhaw City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Wahhaw in an international press conference, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and a major religion has been named as Wahhaw's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Wahhaw's national animal is the camel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Wahhaw is ranked 4,643rd in the world and 2nd in The Eighth Closet for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 10,841.68 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
